NBA Live 2006 Must have...

[Andrew]

Must be another game, that's never been a feature in NBA Live.

[Do']

a little thing i want...when is the finals,i wanna the jersey have the logo of the Cup...but u can say ''download it'' but i will probably buy it on ps2...got a lot of things on my pc

p.s:if u doont understand what i say..tell me

[Andrew]

You mean the NBA Finals logo that's displayed on the jerseys during the Finals? Yeah, that would be a nice touch.

[skillzthatkillz]

running jumpers.....running bank shots....floaters...not always have perfect tip offs....better fastbreak....not a must but would be neat....hand signals when calling a play

[Do']

and...when i do an alley-oop,tha player in dunking,dont look back,so he dont know that i throw him the ball...some time,i got all my feet on the line,and the ref d'ont call the out of bonds...can create our gameplay(i think,2k5 got that option)

[JoshD]

Yeah...that is dumb...They don't look back for the alley-oop. Also they call out of bounds only a little bit..

[Do']

and also...look like wade,or,nash...that guy dont got the same shoes in the nba...the dwayne wade shoes,i put it on nba live 05,its generic 2,but i dont know,is not hard to do that!!!

[Andrew]

If you're talking about including certain shoes, there's generally two issues:

1. Whether or not the player is wearing the shoes at the time the game was released
2. Whether or not EA Sports has the licensing rights to include the shoes in question

At least that's my understanding of the situation.

Would it be too much for the makers of Live to split the dunk rating into two separate categories? i.e. one rating for frequency and one rating for dunk complexity.

I think this would help because some players dunk often but only have a couple of dunks in their repertoire, where some others rarely get to the rack but can throw it down nicer.

[Andrew]

They've basically done that with the Dunking rating and the DUNKPACK attribute.

Speakin' of dunking, have you seen the latest NBA LIVE 06 vid. They have one of Williams, Felton and Bogut in seperate videos. When you watch it, it has Bogut flying like he is Vince Carter and it has Felton doing windmills like Lebron. This game looks to Street-stylish. Not that i mind but it has to be more realestic.

Bogut dunk like Carter, this is too realistic to be true. I mean only big man like Amare can dunk like Carter. As for Bogut, I would not believe he can dunk like Carter.

In that video Felton jumped over the man and dunked...

[username2004]

why do all of u guys talk like u r black all the game needs is realistic game play.

am i the only one that noticed this? what exactly is that supposed to mean gorip32?

[41mavs41]

They've basically done that with the Dunking rating and the DUNKPACK attribute.

Not sure what you're talking about

[Andrew]

The Dunking rating determines the frequency of performing and likelihood of making a dunk. Players also have a hidden attribute (labelled in players.dbf as DUNKPACK) that determines the types of dunks they can perform.

[Fresh8]

I know this has been brought up before... but has the live series ever had an awesome players introduction?

I cant remember... i think the best has been just calling the names of the home team right?

[Andrew]

NBA Live 2004 and NBA Live 2005 probably have the best pre-game introductions, closely followed by NBA Live 2000 and NBA Live 2001.

[Fresh8]

I really wanna see actual introductions like ones we see in real life... or a pregame preview or something.. but maybe its asking for too much!

[Andrew]

Sega Sports released a game back in 1997 called NBA Action 98 that had full player introductions for both teams, with the home team getting a much more enthusiastic introduction. At least the demo had that feature, I never played the full version.

[Kemp]

NBA Live 2004 and NBA Live 2005 probably have the best pre-game introductions, closely followed by NBA Live 2000 and NBA Live 2001.

I have played all LIVE but 2004 and 2005. I was just wondering why EA won't make the introduction of the starting lineup as realistics as the real one in the NBA. The Arena announcer should introduce the starting 5 players with their position, height, college, name. This will make it more enjoyable to watch.

[Andrew]

I don't think it's a matter of not wanting to, rather it's a case of focusing on other areas. Memory/hardware limitations might also be a factor.

[Fresh8]

Yeah, the novelty would wear off after a while too but it would be impressive and adds to the gaming experience, especially if the NBA Playoffs intros were even more enthusiastic!

[pacersnrams781]

Andrew, Do you when they're gonna come out with more videos like the other new rookies or anything else or tell what the other freestyle supestar things are
